DOVER — Dover High School (DHS) environmental and spatial technology (EAST) students gave the Board of Education a progress report during its regular meeting Thursday.

Tanner Howell told the board about a program called S'more EAST in which high school EAST students offer afterschool technical training for middle school EAST students on software such as Photoshop, 3-D Vista, Blender and more.

"This is the third year the EAST program has been at the high school," Howell said. "Those students make lesson plans and teach the younger kids."

Howell said EAST students are required to complete five hours of community service each quarter and 20 hours by the end of the school year.

"That's just the minimum," he said. "A lot of students do a lot more than that."

Lincoln Heffley told the board Fridays are reserved for team-building activities where students use fun activities — like games Catch Phrase and Pictionary — to promote social communication.

She said she specializes in geographical information systems (GIS) and mapping.

"We're trying to push GIS and mapping and have done a lot of projects," she said. "I mapped all the places we sell advertising."

Jeremiah Downum created DHS EAST website — www.dovereast.com — which won first place in web design in a state competition.

The school board members said they were impressed with the presentation.
